  Chapter 507 The early dynasty of the T-shaped scroll

   It was the first time for Feng Ziying to participate in this kind of early court, and she was still a little confused.

  Although he had asked Cui Jingrong for advice before, no matter how much he said, he was not worthy of this kind of battle. At first glance, he was still a little guilty and timid.

  To be precise, his participation this time cannot be regarded as a formal participation, but he participated in a designated way, not because his official position has already qualified to participate in the court meeting.

  However, such an opportunity is rare. You can closely observe the operation mode of the entire Great Zhou court center, and see how these court meetings usually report, plan, decide, and execute court affairs.

  Usually, he could also hear some plans and agreements on court affairs from Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia, but he still didn't know much about how to proceed in the court meeting.

   He didn't know much about how to conduct research on connection with the six ministries, and then achieve coordination and unification with the emperor.

   And according to what he learned, it seems that everything may not have a set pattern, but depends on the situation.

It may be that the six ministries of a certain work have formed internal opinions, reported to the cabinet for agreement, and finally reported to the emperor for approval; or it may be that the cabinet has an intention on a certain aspect of affairs, ordered the six ministries to discuss and come up with a plan, and then fed back to the cabinet for agreement. Then report to the emperor; it is also possible that the emperor had an idea, ordered the cabinet or the six ministries to study the plan, and finally came up with a countermeasure; or it may be that a certain emergency was too urgent, and it was directly taken to the court meeting for research. Complexity, how to classify and dispose of them, and there is no fixed customization.

The report that I may personally participate in today is actually the emperor's idea (this idea originated from the report of a certain six important ministers, and the report of the six important ministers was an idea that arose in a certain direction, such as countering the rebellion Reported to the cabinet and the emperor), ordered the cabinet and the six ministries to discuss, finally came up with a resolution, then handed over to the six ministries for investigation, then fed back to the cabinet, and finally went to the court meeting for agreement.

  This business procedure is more complicated, but this is also because the matter is too important, complicated and difficult, and must be carried out by a more careful and rigorous mechanism.

  Arrived outside the gate of the main hall, there were already dozens of people standing noisy outside, some were walking inside, some were chatting outside the hall, and some simply looked at the scenery and only waited for the time to go in.

   However, it is obviously divided into several square arrays.

   Like the elders of the cabinet, they basically entered the hall directly as soon as they arrived. For example, Feng Ziying saw Fang Congzhe and Li Tingji step in, and the surrounding crowd automatically moved out of the way.

  For another example, a few six ministers stood casually and leisurely, and naturally formed a few small circles with them as the core, talking and laughing happily, such as Zhang Jingqiu, Li Sancai and Zheng Jizhi.

   There are also some officials who are not important enough to form a smaller circle based on the same age or fellow countrymen, each looking for topics, which is very lively.

   In this way, two or three people can also be regarded as a circle, and five or six people can also be regarded as a circle.

The people Feng Ziying is familiar with are either too tall or too low. The tall ones are like Qi Yongtai, who have already entered the palace, and the low ones, like his classmates, are not qualified. , that is, practicing state affairs, Yang Sichang, and not enough anecdotes, so he is not qualified to enter the palace for discussion.

  But he saw Qiao Yingjia at a glance, but Qiao Yingjia was talking to another tall and thin old man at this time, but who else could it be if it wasn't Yang Sichang's father, Yang He?

It was so easy to see an acquaintance, Feng Ziying couldn't care less, staying here, surrounded by strange eyes and strange looks, although not frightening, but it's not a taste, quickly find a place where there are acquaintances, can also resolve this situation It's embarrassing.

   "Ziying has met Master Qiao and Mr. He." Feng Ziying bowed as he approached.

  Qiao Yingjia had a smile on her face, and Feng Ziying came to the mansion to deliver a post when she came back, but she hadn't reported to the palace yet, so it was not easy to go to the mansion, so just send a post and a gift.

"Well, I'm back. I heard that you were assassinated in Yangzhou? What is this Captain Long doing?" Qiao Yingjia nodded, "Xiu Ling came back only a few days earlier than you, you probably don't know yet? "

Feng Ziying shook her head honestly, "The student has only been back for two days, and he didn't go out yesterday, so he rested at home. Master Huang gave two days off. He said he would rest at home today, but he never thought that Master Cui would come to inform him that today The students of the court assembly should also participate, Mr. He is still in good health after a long absence? How are Lord Chai and my father doing?"

  Yang He's eyes were a little more mixed with appreciation and satisfaction, and there were some other complicated expressions.

It's no wonder that my son was originally a Tanhua, and he was awarded an editor. This guy is just a second-class Jinshi Hall to select a good scholar. I didn't expect that this Xijiang Ping rebellion, plus this strategy of opening the sea, would directly surpass him. The feeling of being weak and being awarded the revision is really uncomfortable.

  Wen Ruo also mentioned it repeatedly when he came back. Although he admitted that the other party is indeed talented, he was still somewhat unconvinced.

"Well, you are in good health, and your father and brother Zishu are also fine. Your father went to Shazhou not long before I left and met Liu Dongyang. Bu Shitu also came to Ganzhou to visit brother Zishu and brother Zishu. Your father,..."

Yang He sighed with emotion, "Father Tiger has no sons, Ziying, you went south to the south of the Yangtze River, but the harvest is not small. Today's court meeting with the emperor and all the elders is to discuss the results of your investigation this time. It is necessary to combine Kaihai to raise debts. , make a strategy, and act accordingly in the future.”

   "Mr. He is too famous. This investigation in the south is all thanks to Master Cui who presided over it. I am just doing some trivial work with Fu Jiwei..."

   "Look, brother Ru Jun, you teach a good student, no wonder Cui Ziqiang and Ming Zhong are full of praise for Ziying."

  Yang He is not without envy. Having such a disciple also makes up for the regrets of Qiao Yingjia's two sons who are not very successful. It is no wonder that Qiao Yingjia puts all his thoughts on this disciple.

Qiao Yingjia was very relieved, but on the surface he had to pretend to be indifferent, "Xiu Ling, don't praise too much, these young people are still far behind, they need to be polished and settled for a few years, and I think the weak In the past six months, there have been many wonderful comments on "Internal Reference", and Master Zhang of the Ministry of War is very optimistic about it."

  According to the usual practice, "Internal Reference" is not allowed to publish signed articles of serving officials, but it is allowed to post anonymously or to comment on them.

  Each issue of "Internal Reference" will have incisive short comments selected from the comments on the previous issue of "Internal Reference" articles in a special section, which can be regarded as a response to the previous issue of the article.

Yang Sichang himself was quite literary, and was stimulated by Feng Ziying's great reputation for suppressing the rebellion in the West. Even in the Imperial Academy, he paid great attention to military affairs. Read it, and you must write a review after reading it. There are quite classic words in it, and it has also been praised by Zhang Jingqiu.

  Hearing Qiao Yingjia praise his son, Yang He couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling again.

  Praising his son like this makes him feel more comfortable than praising himself. Qiao Yingjia only has one good disciple, but he is a good son, that is still different.

Seeing that these two people "boasted" each other's juniors, and they were all smiling, Feng Ziying was also quite speechless. One official of the fourth rank and the other official of the third rank were outside the Fengtian Hall, and they were not afraid of the people around them. joke.

  It's just that as a junior, he can only stand aside and wait patiently.

After finally seeing a few "heretics" wearing scarlet robes appear, Feng Ziying thought they were Wu Liangsi, Wei Guangwei and others, but after a second look, she didn't recognize them. All the six subjects are given to Shizhong.

  Although they only have the seventh grade of Pinyi, which is lower than themselves, they are a special existence and still have to participate in the court meeting.

After waiting patiently for a while, finally seeing Wu Liangsi appear, Feng Ziying confessed to Qiao Yingjia and Yang He, and ran over in a hurry. It will be slightly more balanced.

   At this time, the people around already knew roughly who Feng Ziying was.

   It is not difficult to guess that the licensed personnel below the fourth-rank official who can go to the palace are the few people who went to Jiangnan this time. Wei Guangwei and Wu Liangsi know many people, but Feng Ziying is a strange face.

In the past, although Feng Ziying was very famous, he was not qualified to go to court, and he usually stayed in the Imperial Academy, or went directly to Wenyuan Pavilion to meet the elders, or went to the Sixth Ministry, which was also to go directly to meet the big bosses , Departments such as the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Department of General Administration, Dali Temple, Taipu Temple, Honglu Temple, Guanglu Temple, Zhanshifu, and the Dudufu of the Five Armies are rarely seen, and they are basically unknown.

However, everyone knows that Feng Ziying's sponsor is Qiao Yingjia, and her teacher is Qi Yongtai. With such a solid relationship, ordinary people would look sideways, not to mention that this son was not only favored by the emperor in the palace examination, but also came out with Xi Zhengping. Even the strategy of opening the sea has a lot to do with this person because of his great achievements in rebellion. There are rumors that the strategy of opening the sea was not initiated by Chai Ke, but was suggested by Feng Ziying.

  Feng Ziying could feel that the unfamiliar officials around her were starting to look at her, and the whispers must be aimed at herself. Fortunately, Wu Liangsi and Wei Guangwei were covering her, so it was not too uncomfortable.

With the start of checking the tooth cards, the officials began to enter the hall one after another, and Feng Ziying and the three of them also quietly fell to the end. There are rules to follow for whoever stands in the hall. Those in the temple basically stand at the end, and do not stand in line with their own departments.

  Accompanied by the crackling of bead curtains and the sound of footsteps, I heard the servant's voice trembling like metal: "The emperor is here."
